Hope

Do you hope that you’re the parent you wanted to be? 


Do you hope your child will be thankful for the way you parent them? Do you hope you’ll be able to help your child when they’re going through a tough time?
 
Hope is a feeling which helps us all see the light at the end of the tunnel when we’re going through a rough patch. We all go through rough patches and it’s important that children learn that so they know that they are not different to anyone else in that way.
 
Your child needs to know that to have hope they need to see a brighter future than the one they’re already experiencing. Whether it’s them, you personally, or hope for the world at large.
 
One way to teach your child hope is to ask what they hope for and them help them come up with ideas of how they can help achieve what they hope for.
The law of attraction says that whatever we can see in our mind can be achieved. 
Numerous children have come up with great ideas of what they’d like to see in the world and they’ve gone about making it happen.
Everyone can make a positive difference and change things that they don’t like and share how they’d like it to be different. It’s also important for a child to understand that the hard times we all go through are life lessons that lead us to something that we feel gives us more purpose.
 
Our lesson is often something that will challenge us to grow and develop too.
 
Mental health is a prominent issue throughout the world and hope is vital in every person, home and society. Amazing things are being achieved through collective collaboration which have all started with an idea popping into someone’s head who has shared their vision. According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare over 44% experience mental health issues in their lifetime and 40% of 16-24 year olds within the last 12 months. Self-awareness helps reduce, and eliminate mental health and hope is one of the character traits that help a person to become more self-aware.
 
Throughout the years I have met too many parents who have felt hopeless and helpless when it comes to helping their child through challenging periods in their life. Don’t leave it until you’re in that position.
 
Help your child strengthen their self-awareness, confidence and grow in resilience as they grow and develop.
 
I love that you’re part of this private FB group ‘Raising Kids With Integrity’ and that you can help your child with their self-awareness on a weekly basis by sharing the character trait of the week with them.
 
Also, if you’re interested in attending an upcoming free masterclass on the same topic then just DM me and I’ll share that information with you.
 
I hope you enjoy your week! I know I’m going to.
